Torkham Border Reopens for Pedestrians After Month-Long Closure

The Torkham border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan has reopened for pedestrian movement after being closed for a month. The closure had disrupted cross-border travel, affecting thousands, including patients and traders. Authorities confirmed that only individuals with valid documents are allowed to cross. However, trade activities remain suspended. The reopening follows diplomatic discussions between both countries to ease restrictions. Many stranded travelers welcomed the decision, hoping for a full resumption of border operations to restore normalcy in movement and trade.
